Other countries that reported large losses include Tunisia, where a terrorist attack killed dozens of innocent tourists in June last year. Spain was also included in the top 15.

The figures, obtained through a Freedom of Information request to the Foreign Office, showed a 60 per cent increase in the number of British murders between 2012 and 2014.

Three of the victims included John Alder and Liam Sweeney, who were on their way to watch Newcastle United play in a pre-season tour of New Zealand, and Glenn Thomas, a World Health Organisation spokesman.

While six British people died in Algeria when al-Qaeda militants attacked a gas plant and held them hostage in 2013.

The Foreign Office have advised British people against all travel to certain areas of Pakistan such as the districts of Kohat, Lakki and Lower Dir, Peshawar, northern and western Balochistan and travel on the Karakoram Highway between Islamabad and Gilgit.

All but essential travel has been advised in Tunisia while Jamaica is still considered trouble-free.
